Chapter 963 – #207_Albireo’s Close Tutoring (3)
#957
One.
Waited alone for about 30 minutes.
Siu was flipping through the etiquette book that Albireo had prepared.
Can you waste your time in a daze when your already busy eldest mother-in-law gives you time?
Take your time and do what you can in the meantime.
“It’s dizzy…”
A book that looks old, as if Odile and Odette had looked into it a long time ago.
Let me intuit that this project will never be easy.
Of course, Siwoo’s memorization ability is in the upper ranks.
It’s not just to the extent that it belongs to the upper ranks, but to the extent that you can memorize quite a few books if you look at them once.
However, etiquette is not a problem that can be solved simply by memorization.
Everyone knows that you shouldn’t tremble your legs frivolously, but isn’t there a time when you unknowingly tremble your legs?
As such, lifestyle is the realm of embodiment.
It is achieved through long discipline and training, not something that can be done simply.
Even though Odile Odette doesn’t look like a jerk, unexpectedly, every movement has a grace that can’t be hidden. It must be the same context.
“Did you wait long?”
“No…”
Grandmother returned.
Siwoo, who was greeting her after putting down the book, hesitated.
Count Albireo always had his hair set in an elegant chignon style.
Not only that, but he is in charge of the black swan role between the black swan and the white swan, so a black outfit was always the default.
My eldest mother-in-law has changed.
A cool blue dress that gave points with frills and jewels here and there.
Elegant yet neat gloves and thin eye makeup as if peach blossoms were blooming.
He has long, curly hair that hangs down to the peak of the show.
“… You are Albireo.”
“Then who is it?”
“I thought it was Odile.”
“You mean you look young?”
“That’s it.”
I mistook the eldest mother-in-law who giggled while covering her mouth with the back of her hand, for a very brief moment, as a lady version of Odile.
In other words, Odile has grown taller with a more maternal mid.
The color of her hair and the color of her eyes are exactly the same, so it’s not strange to make such an illusion.
“Is this also related to the class?”
However, I have no idea why he suddenly changed his outfit.
“I guessed why Siwoo hesitated. I wonder if he is instinctively intimidated because he gets scolded by me so much.”
Is it?
Was the fear of joint cracking that had been pierced so far beyond the shin and engraved into the deep unconscious?
Siwoo shudders at an unexpected hypothesis, and a very reliable hypothesis.
“And unlike Deneb, I heard a lot that he looked so poisoned, so I thought that Siwoo deserves to be intimidated. Wouldn’t this be better for practice?”
“No. I’m poisoned. You are always beautiful.”
“Huh, don’t worry, it’s intentional. Putting my hair up so that not a single strand of hair is flowing, and putting on thick makeup are trying to look like a chicken. Because it’s easier for you to take the initiative and lead the conversation.”
“Oh, I will follow suit.”
I never dreamed that there was such a situation in the coordination of my eldest mother-in-law, who is always like a villainous young lady.
It is also said that those who have risen to a high position require as much invisible effort.
“Come on, now you can do well without being afraid, right?”
“Ah, I’m not afraid of that eldest mother-in-law. Rather, I respect you.”
“Siwoo-kun? Don’t smirk. One, two, cue!”
While Siwoo was impressed, Odil Poong Albireo laughed at his son-in-law’s joke and directed the play.
“Hello. This is Siwoo Shin, the president of the society.”
“I’m Albireo, who holds the position of dean.”
“I have heard of your society’s reputation and tradition.”
“Oh, tell me something.”
Siu greets politely as they know it, and Albireo slightly lifts her skirt to say hello.
Albireo’s hand lifted up as if asking for an escort, and Siu trying to pretend to kiss him by bending over.
The moment I gripped his fingertips as if slipping and tried to kiss his lips.
“Again!”
The eldest mother-in-law’s unholy order fell.
“Yes?!”
“What is that greeting? Surely you don’t intend to kiss the back of the hand with every witch you meet, right?”
“No! Just pretend, just pretend!”
“You are so frivolous! Get rid of the habit of being a host bar! Who taught you that!”
This time it was really unfair.
Did you make up something that you wouldn’t normally do because you were crazy?
The greeting law was written in the book that my eldest mother-in-law had just brought.
“Is that so?”
My eldest mother-in-law is embarrassed when she confesses her injustice.
Apparently, exchanges between the upper classes of the witch society were conducted among witches, so it seemed that men did not know what manners to follow.
“Really… If so, I can’t help it. Here you go.”
The eldest mother-in-law looked away and raised one hand as if she was a little embarrassed.
Siwoo held her hand and continued the situational play.
2.
“How about this?”
Siwoo demonstrated everything from the first meeting to the introduction in a situational drama.
Albireo crossed her arms and tilted her head.
“It doesn’t sound bad, but I feel like I’m missing something important.”
NG did not appear.
But it’s not a castle.
Albireo’s evaluation was that one piece to complete charisma was cleverly missing.
“What part should I improve?”
“Siwoo-kun isn’t from the street, so it’s quite plausible. To be honest, I don’t know either. It feels like 2% is not enough.”
“It is difficult…”
“Still, I did well for the first time. It’s wonderful, Siwoo-kun.”
“Thanks to the excellent map guide.”
After a little more thought, she finally came up with her intermediate prescription.
“First of all, it may be because the overall part has not been completed. In fact, we have only just learned how to say hello to invitations.”
“Yes.”
If you take over the dean’s position in the future, you will at least do more than personnel affairs.
“You should be able to attend proms, social gatherings at salons, seminars, lectures, and all kinds of work.”
“I’m already getting dizzy.”
“Hmm, good. Let’s learn each one step by step. If you learn manners for all situations, then the atmosphere can be different. Previously…”
Albireo changed her clothes earlier and placed the newly brought book in front of Siu.
The books piled up from the bottom by Yeomdong built a tower about Siwoo’s height.
That’s three at a time.
“This is the history of the witch society and the witch records of each family. These are records of the society’s administrative operations and city laws, which are open to the public in the secretariat, and these are art-related books.”
“…”
“Read during the month I take private lessons. To the extent that if you poke the side, the answer comes out.”
It’s not like I’m going to take a bar exam, but it’s an ignorant amount.
I was fed up.
“As Siwoo knows, Gehenna is closed. The moment you are labeled as an outsider, you will unconsciously wear colored glasses.
So what’s the easiest way to become an insider? It’s about learning history and participating in conversations seamlessly.
Also, knowing at first sight even if a witch doesn’t introduce herself is very helpful in creating a witch’s unique vanity and inner intimacy.”
History books and witch records for that.
“You don’t intend to be the president of the society and ignore administrative duties, right? Even if it is left to the planning department to establish a plan or present a mid- to long-term vision, the final payment and approval are the responsibility of the academic president. Jung, did you decide to toss a coin when your head hurts?”
Society administrative records and city laws for that.
“Lastly, culture is art. I don’t have time to pick out books on philosophy or humanities, so I find them and read them later. What stands out the most is your artistic eye.
Appreciation or evaluation of artworks in everyday conversation will be a means to verify your culture. So, if you look at it right away, guess what era, what kind of doctrine, and whose work it is, and memorize it enough to be able to present your personal impressions plausibly.”
This is an art related book for that.
“Now that I hear this, it’s more like a charismatic project…”
“That’s right, it’s a curriculum that any apprentice witch from a slightly reputable family should go over.”
“As expected.”
“Odil and Odette are finished. Odile and Odette even learned business management for company management. Siwoo-kun is much older, so a month should be enough, right?”
If you really die, there will be nothing you can’t do.
But anyone who sees this colossal amount would be stunned.
For other apprentice witches, Siu had to finish what he learned from childhood to adulthood by cramming within a month.
Even this was a ‘part’ for running the society, which made me lose my fighting spirit.
“I will try.”
But it will work
Even in order to become a man who is not ashamed of his lovers,
Even for Rinne and Dorothy, who believed in Siu and gave up their freedom,
And even for the power to protect them all.
“Lean on your shoulders. Because you can do well.”
Albireo’s hand was placed on Shiu’s shoulder, who nodded with a determined expression.
A slightly cool hand caressed Siwoo’s neck.
“Albireo-sama…”
It was exciting.
No matter how much he is a son-in-law, how easy would it be to care and put in this much effort?
“Oh wow, that’s disgusting. Don’t look at me with those eyes. If you’re grateful, one more homework”
Albireo, who frowned and shook off his glare, mercilessly gave him additional homework.
“For the time being, no matter who you deal with, live with the concept of acting as the president of the academic society. Of course, it is difficult to be treated as a lunatic, so ask for understanding from those around you. In order to get used to the charismatic president, it is essential to make training a part of your life, right?”
Siwoo’s face turned earthy due to the unexpected addition of homework.
Odile’s eldest mother-in-law was also a strict educator.
